AAA expects as many as 109 million Americans will hit the road or fly during the Christmas and New Year week. It would be just under the pre-pandemic record of 119 million of Christmas 2019.
From December 23 to January 2, about 6.4 million passengers will fly, which is about triple the number from the pandemic-ravaged Christmas of 2020.
Transportation Security Administrator David Pekoske expects December 23 and January 3 to be the busiest days at the nation’s airports.
